I mean Negative Capability, that is, when a man is capable of being in uncertainties, mysteries, doubts, without any irritable reaching after fact and reason—Coleridge, for instance, would let go by a fine isolated verisimilitude caught from the Penetralium of mystery, from being incapable of remaining content with half-knowledge. - John Keats, 1817

Silly Jeff. Acknowledging that a Russian Jewish Author's work promoting the genocide against the Jews was banned by the highest Soviet Authorities would mean acknowledging that none of these "highest Soviet authorities" were Jewish, "controlled" by Jews, or acting in the interests of the Jewish agenda, i.e. "Jewish Bolshevism" didn't happen. Of course this person would "forget" about it.

We also need to toss in the inconvenient fact that Stalin became an enemy of Israel and was gearing up for a nice, old-fashioned Russian-style pogrom of his own when the universe (with maybe just a little help) punched his timecard.

"In any case, you might have been thinking of Sergey Romanov, also of the Holocaust Controversies blog. Sergey was an ethnic-Russian Canadian if I remember correctly. Sergey was mildly pro-Putin, I think."

There was, indeed, an ethnic Russian emigre from Canada at the old RODOH who was there for the banter rather than anti-denial (albeit he did not have use for deniers) and who did have a mildly nationalistic attitude. That was, of course, an entirely different person. And of course calling me pro-Putin is to be entirely ignorant of my views on the Russian dictator.

For some reason these two Russians - me and the guy mentioned above - melded together in Scott Smith's hazy memory. Which would make Smith a lie-witness if we were to apply his own standards (snicker) to him.

I cut Scott some slack, after all, the Mossad tried to assasinate him.
